[Verse 1]
An earCly riser, always on timer
A bacAm7k breaker, giver not a taker
Made sFure nothin' was missin'
So we could haAmve everything you diGdn’t
A patCient teacher, strong steady leader
FAm7irm hand shaker, never met a stranger
Tough as sFteel, heart of gold
It took a whAmile, but now I kGnow
All the liDmttle life lessonsC/E  
But you never expFected
[Chorus 1]
A thaCnk you, a pat on the back
You diGd what you did, no questions asked
I could nDmever say enougC/Eh through the dFowns and the ups
You cCarried the weight so we'd have a good life
Raised Gus with love so we could fly
AnDmyone else would cC/Eall you SupermGan
But I just call you dCadAm  F  Am  G  
[Verse 2]
A spCirit lifter, problem fixer
